However, the Clippers were passive from the start, falling to a 12-point deficit in the first quarter alone. After entering the second quarter, Harden connected the team with 7 assists and 4 assists in the second and third quarters, respectively, to help the Clippers close the gap, and the Clippers narrowed the gap to five points after three quarters.
However, after entering the final quarter of the game, the Clippers were quickly hit by the 76ers to play an offensive climax, and they were beaten 20-5 and quickly fell behind by as many as 20 points. Faced with a huge point difference, Harden was quickly substituted, and the Clippers chose to surrender early with half a quarter left. It should be noted that in the entire second three quarters of the game, Harden shot just 2-of-8.
According to the schedule, the Clippers will take on the 76ers on March 28, which will be Harden's first return to Philadelphia since leaving the 76ers.
